No, don't be silly...

Clash of heads but don't let your paranoia hold you back.

I would like to ask SW what he actually saw in Eric when he brought him from Hull my friends in Hull were doing treble twirlies when they knew we were signing him, I just don't know what he brings to the team, my other half reckons they sent "Blind Pugh" to scout him

So how would you play with concussion? Improved? perhaps your superman? Amazing how we judge injured players, its the same on every thread. Again I have NO love for Lauaki but in this match he was concussed and as a result made some crazy decisions

I agree with you.

If anyone thinks that Mossops performances over the last month have been any good then they are just blinkered. Lauaki has had a decent game against HKR something Mossop did not. Mossop is an automatic choice for Wane but for me both Lauaki and him should not be in the side for the CC final.

Crosby, Taylor, Flower and toss a coin between Burke and Dudson for the bench spot given that Hull are very strong at second row. Mossop did the same last season started well and then standards dropped. He is one player going to the NRL who tbh i am not bothered about losing. We have better players than him now. His head and heart is gone and his performance on Friday was nothing short of shocking for an NRL class player apparently.

Theres always the choice of playing HH in the front row if needs be and that could accomodate an extra second rower and add a little extra speed.

That's a waste HH is a great player and we have 4 good props and 1 who brain farts a lot and 1 who thinks he is already on holiday. If Mossop starts to play well i will be the first to admit it but this season has the same pattern as last season and around this time both Lima and Mossop standards dropped.

Lauaki's problem is that he did not come with a good reputation, many were critical of the signing, and he has not produced the goods... But it's equally accurate to say that Mossop has been less than convincing ...

Presumably he's been concussed all those other times he's made daft decisions as well?

Mossop has been FAR better than Lauaki. He gets criticism because he's set himself high standards and people don't think he's living up to them. Even so, he's still offering a lot to the team and the work he does seems to go unnoticed. He's capable of better, but still performs well enough to make him an important part of the team.
